Some may say stock injectors are fine.....I say upgrade them. I say this because it is recommended to not run an injector over 80% duty cycle at WOT...meaning 80% of its total capacity basically. Stock injectors are likely at this limit when you are basically stock. Power takes fuel, so I say upgrade. SVO red tops will do good or hit up FIC Injector and have them rejet your stockers based on your overall goals for the car. I have run both options and they did well.

Anything else with an injector swap? Nope nothing except your tune MUST be modified before the initial crank up.
